What have you been up to?

I’m waiting for Evil Robot to come back.

So I have jury duty. Basically each day I am either told to stay home and wait or I am not needed and can go to work

[Tadao]

Yeah, the system for it really sucks ass

Can you only manipulate the pickles if you're a vet?

I feel like I remember it being more about the higher your rep the more weight giving a pickle has. But I can't recall how it works for sure. You just use the scales on the right of a post to rate it

Ah ok. For some reason I remember clicking the pickles directly.

Out here we just had a week of smoke and orange-tinted skies. I woke up one morning to find all the cars on my block covered in ash :O

[Tadao]

Nah I just clicked on a scale to the top right of the post. In between the post # and the report a post button. Do you guys see the scale?

[Tadao]

I think I remember clicking on the pickles too

I'm awfully close to joining the Dead Dad Society.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

That doesn't sound like a fun club at all

[Tadao]

Don't be a pussy.

You'd be in good company

Well he pulled through surgery, so keep my club card on hold.

One day my family is going to find this and be mad that I even joked about it. But that will only cover up the way they feel about all the racist/sexist/homophobic things I've said here.

Teaching and making kids.

Yo jury duty is the best shit ever. Getting paid to not go to work

[Tadao]

I forget how it works. Don't you get paid practically nothing for Jury duty. And your work covers the rest, but only if they want to? I remember using "my work doesn't cover jury duty" as an excuse to not do Jury Duty as an undue hardship.

[All Hail Duke]

depends

i had federal jury duty last year, i got roughly $175 or so just for showing up (didn't have to serve)

haven't had to show up for local service in years, so i couldn't say what it is here

[zeldasbiggestfan]

I missed a whole day of work for jury duty and made like ten bucks (which I'm pretty sure they pulled taxes out of)

$175 sounds like a sweet deal though

[AChimp]

If you don't want jury duty, don't vote

It's not like that now because COVID. You basically get a text the night before and you either stay home (cause they 'might' need you) or you're told nothing is happening the next day so you go to work instead.

I don't know if I even got paid for the day I was forced to miss or not, with it being a Jury Duty from home thing I really do not know how it works. I certainly haven't been paid for it yet. But hey maybe the check for like 50 dollarydoos is in the mail
